Hi guys, I would be very grateful for some advice about wether it is necessary to use acrylic primer on the walls in my cloakroom toilet wall. I ask because to me it looks grey like sand/cement mix? Its a 1955 council house. The walls aren't smooth like normal plaster elsewhere in the house.
Also I have 12mm backerboard to fit to the back-to-wall toilet box with drywall screws that I plan to tile directly onto... the sheets aren't large enough to cover in one sheet so there will be a vertical or horizontal join.
Where is it best to have this join line? (Vertically in line with the flush plate and toilet pipe holes, or would that be a weakness? I don't want the thing to flex and break the grout lines!).

Tiles will be 7.5 x 30mm
what is best adhesive depth for those tiles?
3 Questions there! Sorry I am a complete novice but I plan to take the time for a top finish.
Many thanks in advance and I can send more photos if required. Any pointers at all will be very appreciated. Cheers
